Frankenstein Undies!
Yesterday we went to a friend’s house for lunch. She is a sister sewing enthusiast and we swapped some patterns. I have some of her precious Ottobre patterns. In one of them I saw a pattern for girls knickers, which interested me, but there was also a pattern for women’s knickers. In Mum’s stash there is a bag of knicker elastic, so I thought it was a good opportunity to try something new.
I started with an old Country Road top, the lace had come undone, so it was really only for wearing around the house.
I stitched the seams together with the overlocker.
The end result. I was sure that there was some black elastic in there, but purple would have to do. The pattern didn’t have a crotch and three seams joined in that area, so it really needed one. Next time I think I’ll cut a bigger gusset out, use only green fabric and white knicker elastic. The good thing about the green fabric is that it is quite, ahem, supportive – good for my 30-something bum.
